Poured from bottle an inky black with large mocha tan head. Aroma is almost woody with roast coffee and some vinegary tartness. Flavor is milk chocolate with roast grain and coffee and a mild tartness with a little smoke in the finish. Palate is surprisingly smooth with a mild creamy sweetness to start moving into a little tart and finishing with a milky coating of the tongue. Nice beer and exceptionally easy to drink.

Had this with Oldrtybastrd. It pours dark with a medium head and smells of chocolate or mocha. The taste was surprising as it was smooth but bitter.

Bottle. Pours black with a tall creamy brown head that has some lasting in a ring and leaves light lacing. Nice milk chocolate and mocha aroma. The flavor finds roast coffee and dark chocolate. Medium body, sticky, and a roast coffee bitter aftertaste. Excellent.

11.2 oz bottle. I can believe the label that it’s won 5 int’l awards. Thick brown head that fades slowly, and a deep, smooth chocolate stout flavor that is delicious. At $2 a bottle, this one is a bargain.

Enjyable aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, and a strong whiff of alcohol. The appearance is true to the style, brown/black, larger tan head. Very attractive. The flavor is roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, and boze. The finish starts with sweet malts, segues into bitter roastedness, and follows up with a substantial warming from the alcohol, like doing a shot of Jamesons. Decent stout, very enjoyable. I’ll say this much, though. There’s a good bit a slcohol, and it’s NOT well hidden.

this beer is a great value. It is a quality stout in aroma appearance flavor and palate. Good aroma of chocolate and hops. This carries through into the flavour. Very good mouthfeel, carbonation is subtle. This is a solid beer for a great price. A keeper for sure. update did a blind tasting with this, kalamazoo stout from bells and la granja. Noticed more of a winey aroma and taste relative to the others that I didn’t pick up on when I drank it alone. Good brew
